![]() Smaragdos is known today as emerald.Īlthough documented as being green, some writers including Pliny claimed "iaspis" also occurred in blue, purple, pink and could even be colourless. Some wrote it may also be cloudy and was often associated with "smaragdos". The stone they called "iaspis" was mostly described as being translucent. It was also used to for courage and determination.Īlthough known for thousands of years the stone referred to as "jasper" by ancient writers such as Theophrastus, Pliny the Elder and many others was not the same stone as the jasper we know today. In many ancient civilizations jasper was used as a talisman to ward off dark and negative forces. Throughout history is has been associated with strength, protection and grounding energy. The meaning of jasper varies across cultures and traditions. ![]() This often causes a considerable amount of confusion for those trying to establish what the stone really is. The name is used because jasper is a well known, popular stone that occurs in a wide variety of colours and with many different markings. Kambaba and dalmatian jasper are perfect examples.

Mookaite from Western Australia is named after Mooka Creek. Landscape, scenic and picture jasper which are all types of mudstone exhibit markings that resemble a landscape.

Well known for its variety of colours and markings jasper is widely used for decorative purposes.Ī relatively hard stone, jasper grades 6.5 to 7 on Mohs scale of hardness. Jasper can also develop through the crystallisation of hot solutions in cracks of igneous rocks. Patterns are often the result of the motion of natural forces that brought the sediment (or volcanic ash) together. The different sediments determine the colour of the stone. The silica then acts like glue and cements everything together. This happens when groundwater containing silica that has seeped into sedimentary rock dries up. The formation of jasper can begin when loose sediments become stuck together. Stones can also exhibit many other colours. Whilst blue is rare, shades of red yellow and brown are common. They're rarely uniform and often overlap or merge into each other. Stones mostly exhibit more than one colour. Jasper is known for its vibrant colour and patterns. Impurities of chlorite can turn jasper green. Impurities of clay cause a yellowish, white or grey colour and goethite introduces yellows and browns. The presence of iron oxides usually in the form of hematite turn jasper red. They're also responsible for its different colours and markings. Impurities are the reason why jasper is opaque. This is because although made up primarily of quartz and/or chalcedony it often features impurities of many other minerals and substances. Microcrystalline means its crystals are too small to be seen with the naked eye.Īlthough often referred to as a mineral some consider jasper to be a rock.

Kristi Noem signed a bill that will further restrict access to medication abortions in the state. Doug Ducey signed into law a ban on most abortions in the state after 15 weeks, similar to the Mississippi law currently before the US Supreme Court, and South Dakota’s Republican Gov. His veto follows a recent flurry of state-level action to restrict access to abortion across the country. The governor, who could have chosen to allow the bill to become law without signing it, has vetoed abortion legislation before.īeshear had previously told reporters he would “review each” bill, and in response to a question about abortion bills that were pending in mid-March, the governor said he believes “health care decisions should be between a patient and their doctor.” The same day, the state’s Republican-controlled House passed the measure by 74-19. Last month, the GOP-led Senate voted 29-0 to pass the legislation and amended the bill to include a 15-week ban. “House Bill 3 has nothing to do with improving patient safety it’s just another way for extreme Kentucky politicians to push their political agenda at the expense of their constituents’ lives,” Crankshaw added.ĭespite Beshear’s action, the state’s General Assembly can override the veto next week with “a constitutional majority of 51 votes in the House of Representatives and 20 votes in the Senate,” Crankshaw said. Samuel Crankshaw, communications manager for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky, said in a statement Friday that the bill “inserts politics into medicine, aggressively sidelines science in healthcare, and threatens the wellbeing of Kentuckians.” The legislation would also amend the law that deals with minors obtaining abortions so that only an attending physician, and not an agent, can obtain written consent and requires that the consenting parent or legal guardian “has made a reasonable attempt to notify” any other parent with joint or physical custody at least 48 hours before providing consent. The Supreme Court has ruled such requirements unconstitutional as it makes it impossible for women, including a child who is a victim of rape or incest, to obtain a procedure in certain areas of the state.” The bill, he said, “requires physicians performing nonsurgical procedures to maintain hospital admitting privileges in geographical proximity to the location where the procedure is performed. ![]() The legislation does not include exceptions for cases of rape or incest.īeshear said in a veto letter signed Friday that the legislation is “likely unconstitutional.” Under the bill, the drug can’t be given to a patient without obtaining their “informed consent” at least 24 hours prior, which includes signing a document “created by the cabinet.” ![]() House Bill 3 places a number of restrictions on drugs used in a medication abortion, such as mifepristone. Andy Beshear vetoed a sweeping abortion bill Friday that would have banned most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, restricted access to medication abortion and made it more difficult for a minor to obtain an abortion in the state.
